Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized boar's head, which was a common motif in Celtic art and symbolism, while the reverse (back) side features a stylized Roman-style wreath, indicating the influence of Roman culture on the Corieltauvi tribe. This blending of styles reflects the complex cultural exchange and evolution that occurred during this period in history.
